USB 2.0 extension for fixed devices

This 1.5 ft cable adds reach between a USB 2.0 Type-A port and a device that has a proprietary or non-detachable plug such as an AC adapter. The male-to-female layout keeps the original connector intact while moving the connection point away from tight spaces. It suits desks, benches or racks where the stock cable falls short.

Gold-plated contacts and 28/24 AWG conductors

The connectors are gold plated to maintain low-resistance, corrosion-free mating over repeated insertions. Data lines use 28 AWG conductors while power lines use 30 AWG conductors, a combination identified as 28/24 AWG in the specification. The jacket is sized for the short 1.50 ft run without adding bulk.

Replaces a too-short captive lead

It replaces the need to reposition a wall wart, hub or peripheral when the built-in lead cannot reach the host port. The jump is worth it whenever the fixed cable is shorter than the 1.5 ft extension provides and a direct Type-A male-to-female link solves the gap.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the USB 2.0 Type-A male-to-female connection support?

The cable follows the USB 2.0 specification, so the interface caps at the standard USB 2.0 signalling rate.

What are the physical dimensions and connector layout needed to fit this cable?

It is 1.5 ft long with two connectors — a Type-A male plug on one end and a Type-A female receptacle on the other.

How is the extension installed, and what step do people often get wrong?

Plug the male end into the host or hub, then connect the existing device cable into the female end; the common mistake is reversing the direction.
